Mindfulness Meditation Teaching

From Victoria, BC, to Regina, SK, to Squamish, BC a big thank you goes out to the students who welcomed me to guide them.

For the past month, I’ve been teaching/learning with some longtime yoga students and dear friends in my practicum as part of my 2-year Meditation Teacher Training Program.

In community, we explored Foundations in Mindfulness:

Week 1- Mindfulness of Breath
Week 2- Mindfulness of Body
Week 3- Mindfulness of Thoughts
Week 4- Mindfulness of Emotions

Next weekend, many participants will be taking part in a 1-day Mindfulness Meditation & Compassion Retreat

Deep bows of gratitude to my teachers & mentors. 🙏

The learning continues…
